Chicago Justice has a major Law & Order connection — can you guess what it is?

Ever since Allyson Koerner can remember, she's been in a committed relationship — with the entertainment and TV world, that is. After receiving undergraduate and graduate degrees in English and journalism, respectively, she's been living...

During NBC's One Chicago Day in October, executive producer Michael Chernuchin (who also worked on Law & Order) offered up a juicy detail about Justice's leading man, Peter Stone, played by Philip Winchester. Apparently, Peter has a familial connection to a well-known Law & Order character. To be more specific, Peter's father is a lawyer.

Hmm... who could it be? Allow Chernuchin to blow your mind. "Here’s gossip for you," he told reporters. "Were you a Law & Order fan? Do you remember Michael Moriarty? Remember what his name was? Ben Stone. [Peter Stone] is his son." Were you expecting that? For those who need a refresher, here is a photo of Moriarty as Ben Stone.

Chernuchin also gave reporters some background about Peter and Ben's history, which definitely isn't all sunshine and roses. He dished, "I’ll tell you. He rejected his dad. He had famous dad syndrome. So, he wanted to go as far away from being Ben Stone’s son as he could, so he played professional baseball. That’s our background for him. He played on the Cubbies [and] got hurt. That’s our connection and real Law & Order freaks will recognize it."

Obviously, Peter then started practicing law. More of his past will most likely be revealed throughout Season 1 and possibly in future seasons, depending on how well Justice performs. Let's be honest, when hasn't a Chicago series done well?

Whatever the case, Chernuchin said that Peter drops a line in an episode hinting at who his dad is. "He’ll say in one of the episodes, 'Yeah, my dad is back east practicing law.'" So, if you weren't an avid Law & Order watcher or have never seen an episode, now you know who Peter is referring to.
